I am the type of student that DOES NOT rate instructors! So when I do either something REALLY GOOD happened or something REALLY BAD happened! Well guess what?! Mr. Guerty is an awesome, caring, understandable instructor who truly does care and I wish every instructor is caring and understanding like him! Mr. Guerty will assist you if you ask!

BEST HISTORY TEACHER EVER. Most assignments are participation, readings/movies are interesting, lectures are interesting, Prof. Guerty is extremely interesting and so kind. Tests are very straightforward, just know your material. Great class.

He gave study guides for the tests and was clear about what was required. He also had review sessions. I recommend taking him. However, you will have homework sometimes and need to study for the tests.

Had Dr. Guerty online this year and this professor is the kindest man ever. So flexible when it came to missing assignments or tests, can always make them up. Lectures are honestly really interesting & so are the assignments (especially discussions). Easy to contact and just genuinely the best kind of teacher. Take his class!! Do the portfolio!!

We only went to class to take tests. He was a very caring professor and his lectures could be boring but the information is interesting. I loved the discussions in class because it gives feedback as you write. There was a lecture and questions every week, discussion, and history portfolio. This class is pretty hard to fail.

This class is hard to fail. Mr. Guerty really cares for his students. He is flexible with test dates if you have something going on or just can't make it. Not too much of a work load. On the first day he explains everything you need to know and everything is very simple on what you will be doing every week. I would definitely recomend his class.

Prof. Guerty was one of my favorite professors this semester. He gave weekly assignments on tophat and packback and 3 tests but it was nothing to be overwhelmed over so long as you were on top of your work. He is super understanding and nice and allows the class to decided on what type of tests they wanted to take.

Professor Guerty has assignments that certainly make you think, but he also is very understanding of things that can cause problems. I, for example, work a full-time job while in school. He always worked with me. Also, his class discussions are fantastic.

Prof is amazing, before each test he gives out a study guide video and explain what to know on the test. You do the assignments in tophat and ask a question in packback. You have a history portfolio and it is about the readings, podcasts, and movies he assigns you. You don't have to watch all the movies or podcasts but know the context.

Guerty was decent online. Class was based on recorded lectures and weekly assignments with a midterm and final, in addition to a project. Lots of reading on a weekly basis but simple assignments. The final project was unnecessary as it was justified as "extra credit", but required for your grade. Easy class that can check a box if you need it.

Strong effort in making the class easy to access and uses external programs for everything. Made a strong effort to convey the feeling of an in-person class to an online format. Lots of reading, watching lecture vids, and listening to podcasts. The final project is a pain to do if you procrastinate. Recommend if you like writing objective essays.

Professor Guerty has great lectures and makes them entertaining. Exams are based straight off the notes/ lectures and from weekly homework (films and readings). If you miss class, the assignments are online and the lectures too. Don't procrastinate on the history portfolio.

Class is Lecture heavy, needing you to write class lecture exclusive information but YOU CAN USE THESE NOTES ON TESTS. *Video/ Reading question activities *Weekly discussion question and responses *One larger portfolio project covering some of the weekly readings/ videos *No presentations Professor is very easy to work with and kind and caring

Professor Guerty is the best history professor that I have every had. He truly cares about students and their understanding of the material. This class is an easy A if you put in the effort. Most of the class grade is just based on participation and the other is very easy to make an A on.

Professor Guerty's HIST1112 class is very manageable. The assignments and tests are straightforward, and he provides helpful study guides. I found unstuck study a useful tool for exam prep alongside the class materials.

At the beginning of the semester he will explain he does not make attendance necessary, but it is very important that you go. All his lectures are in person and all his tests are open note. To have the notes you obviously need to go to class, but if you miss it never counts against you. Has major project at the end not too hard just time consuming.
